It’s been a journey,

Somewhere along the way,

My store of motivation fell away,

Now when I wake to start my day,

It is harder and harder to push forward,

Each step, each step I feel the chains,

Fighting against the world,

Pushing past the pain,

Growing muscles and strength of character.

In defeat I find my ground,

In failure I find the tool to fix me,

In life I fight every day,

Midway through my journey,

Looking around myself,

Seeing the ruined fields,

The crops I never reaped,

The dirt I never sowed,

Pushing myself up,

I must, I must stand up,

To start the harvest again.

In defeat I find my ground,

In failure I find the tool to fix me,

In life I fight every day.

Looking around me,

I see the new growth,

I smell the manuere,

Mixed with the nutrient filled soil,

In them I find,

The fuel I need,

The motivation, dedication,

The courage to push forward,

Integrity drives me.

In defeat I find my ground,

In failure I find the tool to fix me,

In life I fight every day.

Today the harvest is ready,

Looking back at the journey,

Here it has led me,

Here I am,

Reaping my reward,

My drive, my drive pushing me forward,

Constantly moving,

Here I am Lord,

The new man you molded.
